Magic is not about having a puzzle to solve. It's about creating a moment of awe and astonishment. And that can be a beautiful thing.

I have not had time to reflect on my own truths in many years.

I believe that fear of life brings a greater fear of death.

I'd always wanted to do these types of things - pieces of magic I could put out not as illusions, but really doing it.

It was just like a digital fixation with cards and math and science and then I started to look at images of great magicians from Houdini down the line.

I remember finding a Houdini book at the library and seeing an image of him chained on the side of a building. He looked so intense and scary, and I couldnt get that image out of my head. That started building up my love of magic.

You don't get into magic. Magic gets into you.
